The vertical feed is used only in the
Davis Sewing Machine. No others have
the right to use this feed. By this new
feed method, all manner of sewing is done
perfectly, without basting, and there can
be no "fulling' of the goods either above
or below. Both upper and under plies Of
goods are always carried together, as the
vertical feed works equally on both, in.
stead of only on the bottom piece, as is
the case with the old uuder.feed, as used
in all other machines. This new feed
does not stop at seams but steps evenly
over them. 1t is, mainly, this new feed
invention that places the "Davis" SO far
ahead of all other machines.

IF there be one question more
than another that puzzles the mind
of the most ingenious person, it's
that of selecting a Christmas Gift.
Now then, let us tell you just how
easily this knotty problem can be
solved. The entire main floor of
our store is given up to the display
of Holiday Goods-the useful, the
ornamental, the necessities or lux

thing, everything that's BETTING the
occasion. Hundreds of answers to
the all-important question.

SOME LABOR ISSUES.

The fourth of the series of letters to
the order of the Knights of Labor, pre-
pared by General Master Workmen Pow
derry, is published in the Journal Of
United Labor, of Philadelphia. Itdeals
with the child labor, labor.saving ma
chinery and educational questions. -
After wildly describing the misfortunes
of the boys who work in the mines, Mr.
Powderly says that notwithstanding the
law abolishing child labor tens of thou
sands of boys and girls are employed in
factories in the East. when the man
goes out of the factory door the child
takes his place, and the work of progress
goes on. So will it continue to be while
machinery remains slave to the few, so
will it continue to be while the few hold
possession of that which should bless
the many. Do rail against the machin-
cry? No, bless it, for in its busy hum
do hear the noise of a mighty power
urging men and women on to the real
progress--that to which will bring happi-
ness and justice to the many without
doing injury to the few. I see in the re-
volving wheels of machinery that which
will work out the problem OF labor's
emancipation and make that for which
men and women pray. sThy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven, seem
nearer to mankind than it is to-day"
II have heard it urged that il we edu-
cate the masses we but enable them to
understand their real condition in life,
we make them DISCONTINUED with the lot
to which Almighty God has called them,
and in their discomfort they will be apt
to do harm to those who have more of
the good things of earth than they pos
sess. These objections do not spring
from reason, they spring from prejudice;
they have been handed down from the
dark days of labors thralldom, and are
unworthy of this enlightened age. The
masses should not be in misery, and if
they are they should not only know it,
but they should know what remedy to
apply. The real condition of every man
should be known to himself first of all,
that he may take steps to make it bet

the enclosed paragraph for publication,
thinking that several people in this seq

of the establishment in which they made
permanent investment when the show

Ben Wallace and Mr.. Anderson, pro.

success of their show last year was phe

A Shocking Mishap.
On Wednesday afternoon last, Mr.. A.
V. Holcombe, young farmer living about
half mile east of Pennington, met with
a sad calamity. He had just put new
threshing machine in his barn, and while
threshing out some grain to try the ma.
chine, his right hand in some way was
drawn into it, mangling the band in such
a manner as to render amputation neces-
sary. 1t was accordingly taken off just
above the wrist joint. As Mr.. Holcombe
had only month ago purchased the farm
upon which he resides lit having belonged
to the estate of his father, A. j Hol-
combe), this is most discouraging acct
dent indeed. = Hunterdon Democrat.
